At a glance
This project will address three key questions:
- Does regenerative agriculture reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
- How can natural capital on farm be improved without detrimentally impacting on food production and agrifood systems?
- How can we sustainably transition wool production systems towards lower GHG emissions with improved biodiversity?
Through people-centric engagement with Australian wool farmers, this project aims to:
- Benchmark and compare the effects of grazing and soil management, planting trees and holistic farm management across farms.
- Document existing biodiversity and natural capital on Australian wool farms.
- Co-design regionally-appropriate adaptations that show how improvement in natural capital and biodiversity on wool farms impacts on long-term profitability, productivity and farm greenhouse gas emissions.
